attached) sent to:
David T and Lisa N. Koch

Raleigh, NC 27606
Additional Information Requested:
Corrections were made to questions 1 and 2 on the attached permit. I met with Danny
Smith, Lauren Witherspoon and Martin Richmond on July 27, 2012. The three of them
instructed me as to the proper way to fill out the permit regarding questions I and 2.
Question 3 was discussed amongst the group and agreement was made that Culvert I will
remain so property owners can access entire property in a safe manner. Property owner is
aware of buffer restrictions in relation to this culvert.
Question 4 was also discussed amongst the group and agreement was made that when
tying the existing ditch to the relic ditch the two 90 degree turns — represented on the
drawing — will both be more gradual turns. Also, rip rap will be added to first turn to
stabilize dirt added to fill existing ditch so as to avoid any washing.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me (919) 387 -7459.
Thank you for your help in this matter. And please thank Danny, Lauren and Martin for
meeting with me on July 27, 2012 to assist me with this permit.

Subject Property: Fording of Dutchman's Branch
Dutchmans Branch [030402, 27- 43 -4.5, WS -III; NSW]
REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Koch:
On June 7, 2012, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated June 2, 2012 to fill or
otherwise impact 24 linear feet of intermittent stream channel (permanent impacts) and 400 square feet of Zone 1
Neuse River basin protected riparian buffer to access land. The DWQ has determined that your application was
incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional
information in order to process your application to impact protected streams and buffers on the subject property.
This project is on hold and incomplete until we receive the additional information requested below. If we do not
receive the requested information, your project will be formally returned as incomplete. Please provide the
following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. The buffer impacts included in the PCN application don't appear to be correct. You need to calculate impacts
for Zone 1 and Zone 2 which lead up to each of the stream crossings. Zone 1 is the first 30 feet measured
landward from the top -of -bank and Zone 2 is the latter 20 feet measured landward from Zone 1.
2. It is my understanding that a ford has been placed in the stream channel as well as the two culverts. Please
include the ford stream and buffer impacts in the PCN application as well as the culverts.
3. The 30" RCP culvert that is in the southwestern portion of the property appears to serve no purpose in
accessing your property. Please explain the need for this culvert. If there is no need for this culvert please
provide a restoration plan including removing the culvert and returning the stream and riparian buffer back to
natural conditions.

4. The ditch that you propose to tie into the existing relic ditch has two 90 °turns. Please explain how you plan to
attenuate flow so that the existing relic ditch and the banks of Dutchman's Branch do not erode or downcut.
Please submit five copies of this information within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter. Please send
additional information to DWQ Central Office, Attn: Karen Higgins, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,
NC 27699 -1650. If we do not receive this requested information within 30 calendar days of the date of this
letter, your project will be withdrawn and you will need to reapply with a new application and a new fee.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters or
protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not authorized (at this
time) by the DWQ. Please call Lauren Witherspoon at 919- 791 -4251 if you have any questions regarding this
letter or would like to set up a meeting to discuss this matter.
